The year 1790 in classical music and in lyrical art
1790. With other artists, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, François -André Danican Philidor and John Wesley influenced their time (classical era / romantic era). That year would see the birth of future classical or lyrical artists, such as Karol Lipiński, while others would disappear. That year, new works would be composed, published or performed for the first time in public, such as “Così fan tutte” de Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, for example.
All these moments, more or less notable, make the year 1790 a page in the history of classical and lyrical music to be discovered or rediscovered. soclassiq currently lists more than 100 of these moments for 1790.
